I'm sorry, You are completely WRONG!
Here's what you need to learn about science.
The past statues that had leaning issues such as the old Scorpion is due to the structural wire inside and the stress of the weight that overtime allowed it to lean. The inside support was not strong enough, therefore leaning over time!
With the 1/3 Scorpion Lean issue this is not the case!
Larger statues if you didn't know are assembled in pieces. Body and legs is one piece and the shin down to the feet are a separate piece. The inside of this structure is solid and not being supported the same as a more dynamic pose will have long medal rods in them for support and sometimes are too weak. This issue is actually due to the casting/assembly in how the factory made a mistake on a few of them when gluing the body/legs (one piece) to the shin guard/feet. Since these are assembled, when the Factory glued it together they did not do it properly on a small amount of them and basically glued a few in crooked.
Humans make mistakes and no one will glue all of them perfect into the slots unfortunately and the reason when statues have to be assembled it gives more of a chance for assembly issues such as we see here with the 1/3 Scorpion on a few of them. The issue is with the QC guy allowing the crooked improper glued ones to pass inspection not once but twice. In China it was checked and PCS checked it again, so those Leaning ones should have been spotted during QC and fixed before shipping by swapping the defects with the replacements. That's how the human errors of the factory should have been handled by having a good QC staff to first always check for assembly issues and then go from there but the gluing correctly is #1 to check in my book. Not just one QC guy, but the QC team should consist of 3-7 employees with good eyes for spotting errors.
Maybe when hiring QC staff a quiz can be given with 2 almost identical pictures and they have to pick out all the differences that are added to pic 1 that pic 2 doesn't have. You can make a challenging sample and that can be one step closer to finding good QC staff. Just my opinion, but I feel this can make collecting better for PCS and collectors that strive for better QC.
So, once this is glued in properly like pretty much the whole production was except a few odd balls this will not Lean! I have 21 years of collecting experiences and I will bet you my Soul that in 5,10,30...etc years it will not lean at all.
Collectors that had the bad casting assembly had it right out the box from the factory so it would not have enough time to Lean so fast if it was a weak structure which is not the case here. Its like if you were placed in cement bent up and not straight you would dry all bent up. If anyone here has no Lean initially out the box and he slips in snug to the pins then this piece will never Lean. Please, understand the science and don't speculate that it will Lean over time when I'm sorry that is not the correct facts!
Structural leaning issues usually happen on pieces with more dynamic poses that have poor medal rods inside or the engineering was off when creating the dynamic pose to where it's not balanced correctly.
Anyone with a good Scorpion does not have to worry of any Leaning over time. If it's not leaning out the box this piece will never Lean. Like I said I bet my Soul and my whole collection if you want to prove me wrong.
